Each product has its own page with the details; this page is the overview of Colombo, and the WhatsApp desk turns any combination of them into one itinerary with one written price.
Getting to Colombo: the airports
Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) at Katunayake is about 32 km north of central Colombo with a single international terminal; Negombo is about 10 km, Kandy about 105 km, Galle about 145 km and Sigiriya about 155 km away.
The Colombo-Katunayake Expressway links the airport with the city in about 20 to 30 minutes without traffic, but there is no rail link to the terminal, buses are slow with luggage, and taxi apps vary in fare; a private car with a driver is the simplest way to reach hotels, Negombo, Kandy or the south coast.
Where to stay in Colombo
The areas travellers ask us about most: Colombo 3 and Galle Face, Colombo 7 (Cinnamon Gardens), Pettah, Mount Lavinia, Negombo near the airport and Kandy and the hill country.
Wherever you stay, the airport transfer is priced for the whole vehicle, door to door, and tours collect you from the hotel; tell the desk the hotel name and everything is planned around it.
What to see in Colombo
The places most visitors come for: Pettah markets, Gangaramaya Temple, Independence Memorial Hall, Beira Lake, National Museum, Dutch Hospital precinct and Lotus Tower.
Our day tours cover most of them with a guide and a vehicle; the pages of Galle and Bentota Day Tour from Colombo and Sigiriya and Dambulla Day Trip from Colombo with Safari say exactly what each includes.
What to eat in Colombo
Worth trying: lamprais, crab and prawn curries, Ceylon tea and sweets, rice and curry and kottu roti. Ask the driver or guide where they eat themselves; halal options and family restaurants are easy to find, and the desk suggests places near your hotel if you land late.
When to go
December to March is the best time for Colombo and the south and west coasts; May to September is the monsoon on that side and suits the east coast; the city is warm and humid all year, and rush-hour traffic is heavy in the morning and evening.
Good to know before you arrive
Most visitors need an ETA before arrival, so check current rules; tell us your flight number so the driver can meet you in the arrivals hall, and remember that day trips to Sigiriya, Ella or Yala are long, so start early.
Every booking is confirmed by a real person on our WhatsApp desk, in Arabic or English, with the price written down before anything is paid.
